2001 ford focus. No electric to turn car over. Door chime constant tone. Grounding?

Driving at about 60 mph, car just shut down, almost like trans dropped out. Motor revved until i pulled off to a stop & car just died. Towed car home, now when u open door its makes a solid constant tOne as if lights left on. Car will not turn over, but the pwr locks & headlight work. Possible ground issue? Cant even get a code. Help!?

I got it started. There was some burned up wires underneath the relay box under the hood. Hope that never happens again. But to answer you, the batt's brandy new & the cables were nicely snugged up. Thank you!
